Last night on the local ( Vancouver) TV news there was an interesting story
of how the City of Surrey had relocated a Red Tailed Hawk nest. Last year
the property was to be cleared for a playing field ,when the nest with the
birds was discovered. In July the large branch with the nest was cut off and
lowered then stored until December when it was reset in a tree not far away.
The hawks are apparently using it again.Cost them about $4000 to do this the
spokesperson said. Well spent I think. They figured the nest weighed around
100 pounds
